00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:02.770
Welcome to episode four of the Deficient Vegans podcast.

00:00:02.770 --> 00:00:06.253
I'm the muscle deficient vegan and I'm here with the awesome protein deficient vegan.

00:00:06.253 --> 00:00:06.942
You wanna say hi?

00:00:07.208 --> 00:00:07.427
Hi.

00:00:08.143 --> 00:00:08.382
Hi.

00:00:08.382 --> 00:00:12.823
So this week, uh, we're gonna talk about trying to stay healthy while you're traveling.

00:00:12.852 --> 00:00:15.253
Maybe that's for the holidays or on vacation.

00:00:15.313 --> 00:00:20.233
Uh, same kind of things apply to both or any other kind of travel you're doing, maybe even for work.

00:00:20.742 --> 00:00:25.542
Uh, so there's a lot of things that can kind of get in the way of your normal routine on a trip.

00:00:26.112 --> 00:00:31.542
Uh, you're usually pretty short on time 'cause you've got something you want to do while you're there, so you're out and about on the town.

00:00:32.052 --> 00:00:35.923
Um, also there's a lot of stress in general with just being in an unfamiliar place.

00:00:35.923 --> 00:00:39.823
You're not sure what your food options are, what your maybe gem options are.

00:00:40.302 --> 00:00:41.652
Uh, you might not be.

00:00:41.652 --> 00:00:41.857
How to drive.

00:00:41.857 --> 00:00:41.953
How to drive,

00:00:43.993 --> 00:00:44.232
yeah.

00:00:44.292 --> 00:00:46.843
How to figure out how to get around, uh, the place where you're going.

00:00:47.383 --> 00:00:47.953
Um.

00:00:48.268 --> 00:00:52.527
And, you know, you're maybe more tempted to order in, you know, delivery food or something like that.

00:00:52.527 --> 00:01:00.807
So there's just a lot of things that are, that feel a lot different from being at home that maybe you want to try to prepare for, uh, or, or plan ahead to make your life a little better.

00:01:02.143 --> 00:01:05.052
So the first important thing is to try to stay hydrated on your trip.

00:01:05.052 --> 00:01:13.033
This might seem like a pretty basic thing, but you know, I've found, at least when I'm traveling, it's a lot harder to remember to just drink water throughout the day.

00:01:13.033 --> 00:01:19.453
Whether that's because I don't have like my normal water bottle with me or I'm not at home, or I'm just used to going to the kitchen and getting water.

00:01:19.453 --> 00:01:23.533
Like, uh, it seems like it should be really easy, but it's just one of those things that really tends to slip.

00:01:23.533 --> 00:01:26.772
So you wanna try to stay focused on that, maybe a little more than normal.

00:01:27.283 --> 00:01:30.972
Uh, I like to use a hydrate bottle, so it's like a Bluetooth bottle.

00:01:30.972 --> 00:01:33.882
Basically, it hooks up to your phone, tells you how much water you drink throughout the day.

00:01:33.882 --> 00:01:33.942
It

00:01:33.942 --> 00:01:35.082
lights up at the bottom

00:01:35.293 --> 00:01:35.623
right

00:01:35.742 --> 00:01:36.972
and you can make it rainbow lights.

00:01:37.468 --> 00:01:37.757
Yeah.

00:01:37.757 --> 00:01:38.578
What's your favorite color?

00:01:38.697 --> 00:01:39.358
The rainbow one.

00:01:39.597 --> 00:01:39.837
Oh

00:01:40.287 --> 00:01:40.647
yeah.

00:01:40.947 --> 00:01:43.438
And then everyone's like, why is your water bottle lighting up?

00:01:43.438 --> 00:01:46.078
And I'm like, the robots tell me when to drink.

00:01:46.798 --> 00:01:47.668
You gotta listen to 'em.

00:01:48.147 --> 00:01:49.227
Uh, it is important to drink.

00:01:49.227 --> 00:01:49.287
They

00:01:49.287 --> 00:01:49.947
know best.

00:01:50.007 --> 00:01:53.218
Yeah, that you can just get, you know, a normal plastic water bottle too.

00:01:53.218 --> 00:01:55.317
But just remember to drink out of it

00:01:55.587 --> 00:01:57.298
and make sure your bottle ass stickers.

00:01:57.567 --> 00:01:57.778
Yeah.

00:01:57.778 --> 00:01:58.707
That part is important.

00:01:59.367 --> 00:02:01.558
Oh, and you could get like one of those filtered water bottles.

00:02:02.117 --> 00:02:06.677
You know, if you don't wanna buy a bunch of bottled water and you're somewhere you don't wanna drink outta the tap.

00:02:06.858 --> 00:02:07.608
Ooh, hydrate.

00:02:07.608 --> 00:02:11.177
Might I actually have a sale right now too, 'cause Black Friday.

00:02:11.237 --> 00:02:11.538
Yeah.

00:02:12.223 --> 00:02:14.293
So, you know, get your high drink bottles now.

00:02:14.293 --> 00:02:14.772
Kids.

00:02:14.777 --> 00:02:14.818
Yeah.

00:02:14.823 --> 00:02:14.923
Yeah.

00:02:14.923 --> 00:02:16.932
We're not sponsored 'cause no one listens to us.

00:02:16.992 --> 00:02:17.802
There's a couple different kinds.

00:02:17.802 --> 00:02:19.663
The metal ones tend to keep the water colder.

00:02:19.872 --> 00:02:20.323
Oh yeah.

00:02:20.323 --> 00:02:22.603
They keep it cold for like several hours.

00:02:22.663 --> 00:02:22.872
Yeah.

00:02:23.233 --> 00:02:26.293
I'll go to bed with water in my bottle and I wake up and it's so cold.

00:02:26.443 --> 00:02:27.858
Next up you wanna make sure you, uh, get.

00:02:28.228 --> 00:02:29.487
As much sleep as you can.

00:02:29.487 --> 00:02:34.018
Try to stick as close to your normal routine as possible as far as bed times and waking up times.

00:02:34.407 --> 00:02:40.258
Uh, both because it will keep you, you know, more energized during your trip, but also it won't be as jarring when you get back from your trip.

00:02:40.677 --> 00:02:49.348
Now, in a lot of cases this won't be super possible because the time zone changes and activities you have going on and stuff, but it's a good idea to try to stick to it as close as you can.

00:02:49.867 --> 00:02:59.198
It can be pretty hard to fall asleep in a new place anyway, uh, unfamiliar lights and sounds and, uh, you know, obviously the bed being un uh, different and uncomfortable.

00:02:59.198 --> 00:03:02.948
A couple things you can kind of do to, to mitigate a few of those issues.

00:03:03.217 --> 00:03:05.437
Uh, one you can get one of those sleep eye masks.

00:03:05.437 --> 00:03:07.087
You can get 'em pretty cheap off of Amazon.

00:03:07.117 --> 00:03:09.937
It basically just turns every room into a dark room.

00:03:10.568 --> 00:03:12.008
Um, some places, even if they have like.

00:03:12.038 --> 00:03:18.098
Blackout curtains or whatever that are not put upright and light seeps in, and a light can be pretty disruptive to your sleep.

00:03:18.157 --> 00:03:27.337
Another one we like to do is basically use an app on our phone for sleep sounds or sleep stories or something along those lines just to drown out all the little weird noises.

00:03:27.967 --> 00:03:29.437
So we do thunder sounds.

00:03:29.437 --> 00:03:33.098
So literally anytime there's a storm, we almost fall asleep.

00:03:33.127 --> 00:03:37.057
We have loved ourselves into not being able to be awake during thunder sounds.

00:03:37.747 --> 00:03:37.927
So,

00:03:38.437 --> 00:03:38.647
yeah.

00:03:38.647 --> 00:03:40.957
So you might wanna pick a different sound if you're going to Seattle.

00:03:40.957 --> 00:03:41.228
Yeah,

00:03:41.467 --> 00:03:43.057
maybe like the beach, I don't know.

00:03:43.057 --> 00:03:44.348
Or like.

00:03:44.927 --> 00:03:46.518
Weird womb sounds.

00:03:46.728 --> 00:03:47.957
I guess people like those.

00:03:48.768 --> 00:03:50.087
Ah, I don't think I've heard of that one.

00:03:50.087 --> 00:03:50.358
Yeah.

00:03:50.777 --> 00:03:51.858
What does a womb sound like?

00:03:54.348 --> 00:03:55.103
That's exactly it.

00:03:55.133 --> 00:03:55.423
Yeah.

00:03:55.423 --> 00:03:56.508
I think it's just like that.

00:03:56.867 --> 00:04:03.502
I remember from back when I was in also, uh, if you're old like us, your back can get really fucked up.

00:04:04.127 --> 00:04:06.407
Just sleeping in a different bed for eight hours.

00:04:06.627 --> 00:04:08.518
You can wake up not being able to walk.

00:04:08.518 --> 00:04:11.848
So we would recommend stretching or, you know, bring Advil.

00:04:12.057 --> 00:04:16.708
Also bring a pillow that's yours if you can, because most pillows suck ass.

00:04:16.767 --> 00:04:19.648
Next up we wanna talk about kind of, uh, food on the road.

00:04:19.648 --> 00:04:23.517
So not necessarily at the destination, but while you're on the way to the destination.

00:04:23.517 --> 00:04:30.028
I mean, this is a pretty short period of time, so it doesn't matter too much, but you wanna try to make sure you start your trip off, uh, in, in a good head space.

00:04:30.028 --> 00:04:31.512
So if you'd mention it's not always short.

00:04:32.403 --> 00:04:32.853
That's true.

00:04:32.913 --> 00:04:34.023
What if you're driving somewhere?

00:04:34.142 --> 00:04:34.593
Yeah.

00:04:34.983 --> 00:04:35.913
I mean, it could be pretty long.

00:04:35.973 --> 00:04:36.512
That's a good point.

00:04:36.512 --> 00:04:37.202
Could be a whole day,

00:04:37.262 --> 00:04:37.892
could be a whole day,

00:04:38.343 --> 00:04:39.632
could be two days there and back.

00:04:40.293 --> 00:04:40.622
Yeah.

00:04:41.192 --> 00:04:52.622
Well, you want to just make sure you, you know, don't start out the trip with a whole bunch of on the road junk food and by the time you get to where you're going, uh, you've just totally given up on any semblance of healthy food.

00:04:52.622 --> 00:04:57.603
So a couple of options that we like to do, basically we have, we have dry roasted at Mae.

00:04:57.942 --> 00:04:59.502
Uh, that we get off of Amazon.

00:04:59.502 --> 00:05:00.372
It's a little package.

00:05:00.372 --> 00:05:03.343
It's like 200 calories, 20 grams of protein fits in your pocket.

00:05:03.793 --> 00:05:08.502
Um, it's just kind of a crunchy, dry, roasted bean type snack.

00:05:08.502 --> 00:05:10.452
But, uh, make sure you drink a lot of water with it.

00:05:10.452 --> 00:05:11.742
But other than that, they're really good.

00:05:12.012 --> 00:05:14.367
It will hope you get your water 'cause it will make your mouth really dry.

00:05:14.648 --> 00:05:14.887
Yeah.

00:05:15.882 --> 00:05:18.793
You, you probably can't actually swallow it if you're not drinking water.

00:05:18.793 --> 00:05:23.442
So it's a requirement, but it not as bad as it sounds.

00:05:23.442 --> 00:05:24.403
It's pretty nice.

00:05:29.937 --> 00:05:33.567
Um, next up there's a, like a cereal thing called Catalina Crunch.

00:05:33.567 --> 00:05:35.517
It's actually about the same macros as the edamame.

00:05:35.637 --> 00:05:38.067
Maybe a little less protein, but not much less at all.

00:05:38.458 --> 00:05:40.168
It's like a healthy cinnamon toast crunch.

00:05:40.228 --> 00:05:42.418
Yeah, you just eat it kind of outta the bag.

00:05:42.418 --> 00:05:44.788
Obviously, you don't need milk in a bowl or anything while you're driving.

00:05:44.788 --> 00:05:46.978
It's just another grab and go type snack.

00:05:47.127 --> 00:05:50.817
It'll actually make your mouth less dry than edamame, oddly enough.

00:05:50.817 --> 00:05:55.288
Then also if you're driving, um, you know, you can go to gas stations if you're flying.

00:05:55.963 --> 00:06:06.973
Maybe there'll be some convenience stores in the airport that have some kind of the same thing as a gas station, but basically, you know, gas stations are actually kind of a pretty good option on a trip because they have the same things at most gas stations.

00:06:06.973 --> 00:06:07.752
So nuts.

00:06:07.752 --> 00:06:08.983
You just, they have nuts.

00:06:08.983 --> 00:06:12.432
And if you kind of go in the protein bar section, you'll find a couple protein bars.

00:06:12.432 --> 00:06:15.642
You'll even find a couple of vegan protein type things line.

00:06:15.642 --> 00:06:17.353
And Larry's a good vegan one.

00:06:17.773 --> 00:06:23.023
The macros aren't great, but it does have protein and it's kind of like more of a meal replacement cookie.

00:06:23.023 --> 00:06:24.552
It's like 400 calories.

00:06:24.552 --> 00:06:24.973
So.

00:06:25.858 --> 00:06:26.817
You could use that for a meal.

00:06:26.817 --> 00:06:33.778
If you had a line Larry Cookie and a bag of Tama, that would be a pretty decent, uh, meal, just protein wise, and you'd be pretty full for a while, I think,

00:06:34.017 --> 00:06:35.098
or D'S nuts.

00:06:36.012 --> 00:06:36.302
What?

00:06:36.358 --> 00:06:37.408
What are the macros on D's?

00:06:37.408 --> 00:06:37.947
Nuts.

00:06:38.398 --> 00:06:39.567
Why don't you ask your mom?

00:06:43.127 --> 00:06:43.487
Wow.

00:06:43.517 --> 00:06:56.718
Okay, so moving on from that, uh, another good option actually is, uh, if you don't want to carry any of that stuff with you and you are maybe even a little more short on time, uh, you can find a Taco Bell.

00:06:56.718 --> 00:07:00.257
You can find Taco Bell sometimes in airports and definitely obviously on the road.

00:07:00.257 --> 00:07:03.437
So this should be a, another pretty reliable option they have.

00:07:03.468 --> 00:07:04.067
Um.

00:07:04.122 --> 00:07:06.283
A lot of good options for protein.

00:07:06.343 --> 00:07:14.892
Um, basically if you make something fresco style at Taco Bell, it takes off the cheese and sour cream and just replaces it with like a pico de gallo.

00:07:16.033 --> 00:07:18.733
So you can do that with like hard shell tacos.

00:07:18.942 --> 00:07:20.923
Um, bean burritos.

00:07:20.923 --> 00:07:23.892
Bean burritos, you know, they even have great vegan vegetarian options.

00:07:23.952 --> 00:07:26.983
Uh, all the bean burritos or bean tacos or anything like that.

00:07:26.983 --> 00:07:29.952
Fresco style or vegan, the red sauce, all the mm-hmm.

00:07:30.192 --> 00:07:30.913
Little hot sauces.

00:07:30.913 --> 00:07:31.843
They're all vegan, so.

00:07:32.533 --> 00:07:33.343
Uh, yeah, pretty good.

00:07:33.343 --> 00:07:34.242
High protein option.

00:07:34.242 --> 00:07:39.492
Probably the best option you have for fast food, for clean, uh, high protein food.

00:07:39.552 --> 00:07:39.913
So

00:07:40.137 --> 00:07:40.838
by far, yeah.

00:07:42.177 --> 00:07:46.737
Uh, next up, uh, once you actually get to the destination, you're gonna have to eat as well.

00:07:46.887 --> 00:07:54.598
So, uh, we recommend ahead of time you, before you even go on your trip, you kind of research the local food options at the, the destination you're gonna be going to.

00:07:55.437 --> 00:07:59.067
Uh, you can use normal apps for this, like Yelp, DoorDash, Uber Eats.

00:07:59.367 --> 00:08:03.117
Um, that'll also give you an idea of what maybe you can get delivered or you're gonna have to go pick up.

00:08:04.017 --> 00:08:12.387
And you can look through all the menus there and kind of at least have a few staples that you're gonna see nearby that you can rely on for a meal that kind of fits your goals.

00:08:13.408 --> 00:08:15.567
Uh, bonus if you are a vegan or vegetarian.

00:08:15.567 --> 00:08:17.697
We love using the app called Happy Cow.

00:08:17.728 --> 00:08:18.658
Happy Cows the best.

00:08:19.317 --> 00:08:19.648
Yes.

00:08:19.648 --> 00:08:20.187
Life changing.

00:08:20.517 --> 00:08:20.757
Yeah.

00:08:20.757 --> 00:08:24.237
So basically this is like a Yelp for vegans and vegetarians.

00:08:24.658 --> 00:08:32.908
It specifically shows, uh, vegan and vegetarian options around an area and has reviews and the menus and pictures and all that kind of thing.

00:08:33.567 --> 00:08:40.227
So, uh, we use that really heavily to try to find vegan restaurants around any place we go and, uh, it's really great.

00:08:40.317 --> 00:08:48.717
Our next tip is to find an Airbnb or like a hotel that has some kind of a kitchen situation, even if it's just a hot plate.

00:08:49.643 --> 00:08:49.993
Right.

00:08:50.052 --> 00:08:51.388
And a good sized fridge.

00:08:51.597 --> 00:08:53.668
Yeah, a good hotel for that is home two suites.

00:08:53.668 --> 00:08:55.107
We've stayed there a couple of times.

00:08:55.587 --> 00:09:04.048
Um, Airbnb's a, a better option here because typically you can find one for about the same price as a hotel, and you could get a whole ass house.

00:09:04.048 --> 00:09:05.908
With like a kitchen or refrigerator.

00:09:05.937 --> 00:09:08.398
Yeah, a stove, an oven, like the whole situation.

00:09:08.398 --> 00:09:12.658
So, uh, we'd really recommend trying to find one of those probably.

00:09:12.658 --> 00:09:18.148
And then also another benefit of like an Airbnb is you'll be maybe in a neighborhood with a sidewalk.

00:09:18.148 --> 00:09:23.878
You can walk around and get some steps, try to stay active, uh, before and after the stuff you have to do while you're on vacation.

00:09:25.048 --> 00:09:27.238
And then once you know where you're staying, you can kind of plan out.

00:09:27.868 --> 00:09:30.028
Is there stuff I can make here?

00:09:30.538 --> 00:09:39.447
You know, like some of our go-tos are smoothies in the morning and we like to use extra firm silk and tofu with some frozen fruit and like spinach, a little bit of milk.

00:09:39.748 --> 00:09:44.248
Yeah, vegan milk, maybe some protein powder too, but that'll keep you full in the morning.

00:09:44.878 --> 00:09:49.197
And another really easy thing to make is like, um, shredded barbecue tofu.

00:09:49.408 --> 00:09:51.988
You can throw that in tortillas or whatever you want.

00:09:52.962 --> 00:10:01.182
As far as the smoothies go, uh, if you're doing the Airbnb, you might just want to look through the, the listing or reach out to the host and see if what kind of a kitchen equipment they have.

00:10:01.182 --> 00:10:02.832
Like if, if they have a blender.

00:10:03.102 --> 00:10:04.962
If they don't have a blender, you might bring your own.

00:10:05.202 --> 00:10:14.352
Uh, we, we actually bring a whole Vitamix because we're a little extra, but you can just bring a little, uh, neutral bullet, uh, type smoothie blender and those, they're pretty easy to pack.

00:10:14.442 --> 00:10:19.393
If you don't have a Vitamix, you should probably get one on Black Friday because they're life changing.

00:10:19.393 --> 00:10:20.863
As a vegan, we use it.

00:10:21.253 --> 00:10:21.582
What?

00:10:21.972 --> 00:10:23.232
Every other day at least.

00:10:23.293 --> 00:10:23.592
Yeah.

00:10:23.658 --> 00:10:31.722
I, I really always thought Vitamix was like just overhyped marketing stuff, but it's not, it actually makes a big difference in the smoothness of the stuff you mix in it.

00:10:31.727 --> 00:10:31.977
It's

00:10:31.982 --> 00:10:33.913
actually really unfortunate that it works so well.

00:10:34.062 --> 00:10:34.273
Yeah.

00:10:34.423 --> 00:10:35.682
Because it's expensive as fuck.

00:10:35.832 --> 00:10:36.043
Yeah.

00:10:36.133 --> 00:10:41.263
Next up, you, uh, you know, uh, when you're packing for your trip, you probably wanna make sure that you bring some protein.

00:10:41.643 --> 00:10:44.283
Protein is a goal that most of us are gonna have.

00:10:44.283 --> 00:10:47.582
If you're listening to this podcast, you probably have some kind of interest in fitness.

00:10:47.582 --> 00:10:49.592
So, uh, protein powder's nice.

00:10:49.592 --> 00:10:58.143
We don't wanna rely on it, but especially in a travel situation, it's nice to just have something you can make in 10 seconds that you know is gonna give you some protein for the day

00:10:58.503 --> 00:10:59.013
better than nothing.

00:10:59.548 --> 00:11:04.768
Yeah, so on top of just bringing your own protein powder, you probably don't wanna bring a whole bunch of other stuff.

00:11:04.768 --> 00:11:07.857
And we're talking about like an Airbnb with a kitchen and things like that.

00:11:07.857 --> 00:11:11.278
So, uh, you're gonna want to have stuff to actually make in this kitchen.

00:11:11.278 --> 00:11:17.337
So, uh, we'd recommend as soon as you get to the destination, you just go on a grocery run at a local grocery store.

00:11:17.398 --> 00:11:22.557
Uh, pick up some things that you can use to make food throughout the couple of days or whatever the duration of your stay is.

00:11:23.248 --> 00:11:26.038
Um, that way, again, you have some guaranteed healthy options.

00:11:26.038 --> 00:11:27.477
You can make food, you know, you like.

00:11:27.503 --> 00:11:35.003
'cause I'm sure everybody has gone to a new town and tried out some restaurants that look good and they end up being, you know, not so good and then you don't really have a backup plan.

00:11:35.003 --> 00:11:38.482
So yeah, it's nice to have some things around in the kitchen that you know how to make.

00:11:38.812 --> 00:11:39.743
Okay, next up.

00:11:39.802 --> 00:11:46.072
Uh, we really like a Planet Fitness membership, um, especially the Planet Fitness Black membership.

00:11:46.072 --> 00:11:46.883
The benefit of that.

00:11:47.113 --> 00:11:55.812
You know, even if you don't use Planet Fitness at home, or a lot of times Planet Fitness might not have some equipment that you need for like a whole, you know, free weight workout or something like that.

00:11:55.842 --> 00:12:02.653
But a black membership is, has the benefit of being 25 bucks a month and you have worldwide access to Planet Fitness.

00:12:02.712 --> 00:12:04.633
And Planet Fitness is like everywhere.

00:12:04.633 --> 00:12:13.273
So pretty much anywhere you stay, there's gonna be a Planet Fitness within 10 minutes of you, and you can even just get the membership for the month that you're gonna be on vacation and then drop it.

00:12:13.273 --> 00:12:15.913
I don't, they don't have any kind of contract thing or anything like that.

00:12:16.332 --> 00:12:23.712
So, uh, it's a really good place to just go and get some cardio or even, I mean, you can do a really good weight lifting session in there.

00:12:23.712 --> 00:12:25.842
It might just not be some of the stuff that you're used to doing.

00:12:25.842 --> 00:12:26.832
It's like a free barbell

00:12:27.013 --> 00:12:28.302
and they have the hydro massage.

00:12:28.663 --> 00:12:29.113
Oh, yeah.

00:12:29.743 --> 00:12:33.732
The Planet Fitness Hydro Massage is worth the membership alone.

00:12:34.003 --> 00:12:36.373
It's warm and you can play solit.

00:12:36.727 --> 00:12:37.148
Yeah.

00:12:37.658 --> 00:12:39.217
When's the last time you played solitaire?

00:12:39.278 --> 00:12:40.957
That wasn't in a hydro massage bed?

00:12:41.107 --> 00:12:43.597
I, I've never won solitaire in the hydro massage bed.

00:12:43.957 --> 00:12:44.498
You're a loser.

00:12:44.498 --> 00:12:45.307
I win it every time.

00:12:46.177 --> 00:12:46.567
Okay.

00:12:46.837 --> 00:12:49.927
So that's, that's pretty much the tips we have for travel.

00:12:50.288 --> 00:12:55.418
Um, you know, we, uh, had a bunch of Thanksgiving recipes come out and we talked about those in the last podcast.

00:12:55.418 --> 00:12:57.337
We're kind of shifting gears now since, uh.

00:12:57.758 --> 00:12:59.138
Yesterday was Thanksgiving.

00:12:59.618 --> 00:13:01.597
Shifting gears into Christmas recipes.

00:13:01.807 --> 00:13:09.668
So we've got a lot of stuff of our own coming up soon, but we wanted to see maybe if, uh, any of you have ideas for Christmas recipes you like

00:13:09.817 --> 00:13:14.347
any recipes that you would want a vegan or a high protein version of.

00:13:14.923 --> 00:13:23.923
Let us know if there's anyone out there actually listening to this, because we don't really do like big Christmas things at our family, so we don't have a whole lot of these.

00:13:24.403 --> 00:13:25.753
What do people eat for Christmas?

00:13:25.753 --> 00:13:26.322
I have no idea.

00:13:26.712 --> 00:13:27.102
Yeah.

00:13:27.673 --> 00:13:27.942
All right.

00:13:27.942 --> 00:13:31.903
So, uh, you can, you know, reach out to us on our social medias.

00:13:31.903 --> 00:13:34.783
You'll be able to find links in the show notes for, for those.

00:13:35.143 --> 00:13:39.283
I can also just maybe comment on the blog post or the podcast post on the website.

00:13:39.702 --> 00:13:41.623
Any of those ways is, uh, equally.

00:13:42.138 --> 00:13:43.937
Fine with us and we'll see it and we'll reply to you.

00:13:44.087 --> 00:13:44.357
All right.

00:13:44.357 --> 00:13:45.528
I think that's it for this week.

00:13:45.528 --> 00:13:48.498
Thanks for listening, and we will, uh, see you next week.

00:13:48.918 --> 00:13:49.668
You wanna say, bye bye.

00:13:50.538 --> 00:13:50.837
All right.

00:13:50.842 --> 00:13:50.852
Bye.
